Default Tire pressure

I have 295/70R17 Toyo MT open country tires on my JKU. They are filled with nitrogen. What tire pressure should I be running with these for daily driving? Also where can I get them fillled with Nitrogen if needed or is it okay to just add air?

I always run 35 psi . If I run off road I run 18 psi. You can mix it with air.

35 is on the high side ...... I'd guess most guys run 28-30 that's what I run. Do the chalk test that helps too.

Another for vote 30psi. To me, there's no need to put nitrogen in your tires unless you go to track.

I run 27 in my 35" Goodyears.
We're all running mostly nitrogen in out tires. Lol. You may have more than others. There's no need for it on most vehicles, it's more a cool factor as I see it.

At 35 on that size tire you'll wear out the center of your tires. Try 30 and chalk test it
